Low-budget Rangers doing the Lord's work over Celtic.

handelex:
Which is very realistic and possible.
By the way all OLEOUT geng wants him sacked right now and you're telling me nobody wants him sacked .
For me OLE has earned this season, we should judge him at the end of it and appraise the team's progress under him. If not good enough he can go as he has built a solid base for whosoever will take over from him.

Smellymouth:


Funny for them to think ole wasn't backed.

How can you say he hasn’t been backed when he had spent the most money in most of the last individual transfer windows?

He outspent everyone but Chelsea this summer.. So what are they saying?

handelex:
Everybody shouting mediocrity mediocrity, few weeks ago, nobody dey reason us challenging for the title oo. Few positive results now and everywhere don burst.
Even OLE said no title talk now till around March April. One game at a time folks.

His record in terms of wins and points is not up to what i expect considering the players he has.

What is more worrying is the quality and style of football which seems to be more instinctive than actually tactically constructed.

If you play good football and have good players you are more likely to win games because what you are doing is reproducible.

If your football is not really good but your players are good OR if your football is good but your players are average you get inconsistency.

I expect us to compete for the title this season and even if we don’t win it at least come close.

I also expect a deep Champion’s League run to QF or SF stages.

Who do you reckon are title challengers?

I will cry if Poch takes the PSG job...

SyIvalord:
Then get ready to wail as loud as you can

CapitalCee:


How do you mean we are not title challengers? We should be pushing for the title with this squad. Even chelsea are meant to challenge this season, are they better than us. Look at our squad and that of Liverpool and City we are not miles off. Why are you lowering standards. SAF will be turning in his retirement home "grave" (he is not dieng any time soon) if he listens to this your timid talk

KingAlabi:

You guys for here dey always reset targets as season goes on
Beginning of season was that we should be in the top 3 season end and at least close down with city and pool
Now we should challenge for titles because a certain city didn't start the season well

You are talking about our squad
We still lack a RW, a good CDM and also a capable CB

And now we are title challengers because of this good run

I guess if we eventually challenge for this title but loose a vital match that makes us loose out the title you go run come out with your oleout plankcard saying a poch would have won the title eyes closed

You may ask what my expectations are this season

It is still a top 3 finish
A cup
And a QF or SF in the champions league ( ole don bash that one)

Stop changing your expectations when we are in a good run, we know how it all ends .

Karleb:


I was going to say this.

They raise their expectations so high and when our guy refuse to meet up they keep lamenting.

Even Woodward doesn't think we league contenders.

Liverpool for example is a team can can go the rest of the season without defeat.
Chelsea has a way of dealing with smaller teams this season.
Tottenham and Mourinho nko?
What about Ancelotti? Guardiola?

Trevor012:

You know them perfectly. It was the same people asking for ole to be sacked after our poor start to the season and when people was telling them to give him time due no preseason they where adamant now all of a sudden we are title Challengers.

CapitalCee:


I dont care what "oleout geng" think, whatever that mean. I want Manchester United to challenge for the title.

handelex:
On a serious note, a title contending team needs to be consistent, and consistency hasn't been our forte in recent times.
Are we good enough to challenge for the title? Absolutely..
Will the team be consistent with positive results? We'll wait to find out.
No excuses whatsoever for OLE by the way. It's his team.

melodyogonna:

But Manchester United have been challenging for titles na, abi I know understand the meaning of the word again? They played 3 semi finals last season, was unlucky in front of goal, plus squad was overplayed.
This season we're 3 third with a point in hand, still in Europa, FA cup and another semi finals in Carabao.

TrebleChamp:
We have a good enough squad of players to win the EPL this season. If we don't win or at least push for it then it simply mean Ole isn't good enough and should be sacked....

CapitalCee:


You are not making sense.
Leicester avoided relegation in 2015 by the skin of their teeth in 2015. Next seaso they started well and others were shaky, they kept readjusting their target till the end. And they eventually won the title. I am sure if somebody like you is in Leicester board you would have to Renieri to concentrate on avoiding relegation. No reasonable person will abuse Ole if he shows clear progress. But I want to ask something, are we supposed to be structured based on Oles ability

ChristineC:
I hear many pundits say this consistent thing and fans seem to lap it up. there's only one definition of consistency in the English dictionary and the facts don't agree with this theory at all.

odizeey:
Poch is gone.

Well...

TrebleChamp:
I will cry if Poch takes the PSG job...

KingAlabi:

Oga at the beginning of the season what was your expectations??

And if ole doesn't meet your title challengers expectations won't you want him boothed?

About your Leicester example if they missed out on the title will they have gone #renieriout

Expert17:


If it was Manchester United, you would hear we just avoided relegation....the next target is to finish 15th

To summarize your points, you just don't want OLE to be sacked.
